Porosity can be viewed as a profound concept that helps us to understand nature and create
advanced structures. There are some interesting examples in nature, such as hollow …

Tissue engineering (TE) aims to regenerate critical size defects, which cannot heal naturally,
by using highly porous matrices called TE scaffolds made of biocompatible and …

Polysaccharide-based microgels/nanogels have high water content, functionality,
biocompatibility, tunable size from submicrons to tens of nanometers, large surface area for …

Porous materials are currently of great scientific as well as technological interest. A strategy
that is increasingly employed to prepare highly porous and well defined macroporous …

Recently, a series of new monomers and polymerization mechanisms has been applied to
the templating of high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) providing a route to hierarchically …

PolyHIPEs are porous emulsion-templated polymers synthesized within high internal phase
emulsions (HIPEs). HIPEs are highly viscous, paste-like emulsions in which the …

The use of scaffolds composed of a major fraction of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT,
up to 89 wt.%) and a minor one of chitosan (CHI), and with a well-defined microchannel …

High internal phase emulsions (HIPEs), with densely packed droplets of internal phase and
monomers dispersed in the continuous phase, are now an established medium for porous …

Abstract Poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) scaffolds are prepared by a cryogenic process that
consists of the unidirectional freezing of a PVA solution. The scaffolds exhibit a …

Interconnected macroporous poly (acrylic acid)(PAA) hydrogels are prepared via oil-in-water
(o/w) Pickering high internal phase emulsion (HIPE) templates stabilized by graphene oxide …
